IntroductionAcid and bases chemistry are important in a wide
variety of everyday applications:
• Deviation in the blood acidity may lead to
serious illness and death
• Uncontrolled acidity of the water in the
aquarium destroy the life of many kinds of fish
• Vast quantity of H2SO4 manufactured in the
US every year to satisfy the fertilizers,
polymers, steel,… industrial needs
•…..
14.1 The Nature of
Acids and BasesHave a sour taste. Vinegar owes its taste to
acetic acid. Citrus fruits contain citric acid.
Have a bitter taste. Feel slippery. Many soaps contain bases.Bases:

Arrhenius acid is a substance that produces H+ (H3O+) in water
Arrhenius base is a substance that produces OH- in water

Acid-Base Properties of Water
Water is the most common amphoteric substance, i.e., it can behave
either as an acid or as a base.
Kc =[H+][OH-]
[H2O]2[H2O] = constant
Kc[H2O] = Kw = [H+][OH-]
The ion-product constant (Kw) is the product of the molar
concentrations of H+ and OH- ions at a particular temperature.
Kc[H2O] = Kw = [H+][OH-]
What is the concentration of OH- ions in a HCl solution
whose hydrogen ion concentration is 1.3 M?
Kw = [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
[H+] = 1.3 M
[OH-] =Kw
[H+]
1 x 10-14
1.3= = 7.7 x 10-15 M

14.3 The pH Scale
pOH = -log [OH-]-log [H+] – log [OH-] = 14.00
pH + pOH = 14.00
[H+] is quite small, therefore pH scale will provides
a convenient way to represent solution acidity.
Similarly, log scale can be used for others, e.g.
The pH of rainwater collected in a certain region of the
northeastern United States on a particular day was 4.82.
What is the H+ ion concentration of the rainwater?
pH = -log [H+]
[H+] = 10-pH = 10-4.82 = 1.5 x 10-5 M
The OH- ion concentration of a blood sample is 2.5 x 10-7 M.
What is the pH of the blood?
pH + pOH = 14.00
pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (2.5 x 10-7) = 6.60
pH = 14.00 – pOH = 14.00 – 6.60 = 7.40

Acid-Base Problem
General Strategies
� Think chemistryFocus on the solution components and their reactions
� Be systematicAcid-base problems require a step-by step approach
� Be flexibleTreat each problem as separate entity and do not try to
force a given problem into another solved problem
� Be patientThe complete solution cannot be seen immediately
� Be confidentUnderstand and think; don’t just memorize

[HF] = 0.50 – x = 0.48 M
Exercise: Weak Acid
When can I use the approximation?
0.50 – x ≈ 0.50Ka << 1
When x is less than 5% of the value from which it is subtracted.
x = 0.0190.019 M
0.50 Mx 100% = 3.8%
Less than 5%
Approximation ok.
What is the pH of a 0.05M HF solution (at 250C)?
Ka ≈x2
0.05= 7.1 x 10-4 x = 0.006 M
0.006 M
0.05 Mx 100% = 12%
More than 5%
Approximation not ok.
Must solve for x exactly using quadratic equation or method of
successive approximation.
Approximation
1. Identify the major species that can affect the pH.
• In most cases, you can ignore the autoionization of
water.
• Ignore [OH-] because it is determined by [H+].
2. Use ICE to express the equilibrium concentrations in
terms of single unknown x.
3. Write Ka in terms of equilibrium concentrations. Solve
for x by the approximation method. If approximation is
not valid, solve for x exactly.
4. Calculate concentrations of all species and/or pH of
the solution.
Solving weak acid
ionization problems:
Acid Mixtures
� pH of weak acid mixtures
The pH of solutions containing different weak acids, will
depend on the [H+] of higher strength
Exercise 14.9 Calculate the pH of solution that contains 1.00 M HCN (Ka = 6.2 x
10-10) and 5.00 M HNO2 (Ka = 4.0 x 10-4). What is the concentration
CN--ion in this solution?
Solution:
[H+] = 4.5 x 10-2 and pH = 1.35
[CN-] = 1.4 x 10-8
percent dissociation = Ionized acid at equilibrium
Initial concentration of acidx 100%
For a monoprotic acid HA
Percent ionization = [H+]
[HA]0x 100% [HA]0 = initial concentration
% of DissociationThe percent dissociation is defined as follows:
The percent dissociation increases as the acid
becomes more dilute
Exercise 14.10:
% dissociation of 1.00 M AcOH = 0.42%
% dissociation of 0.10 M AcOH = 1.3%

QUESTION
Calculate the pH of a 0.02 M solution of KOH. 1) 1.7 2) 2.0 3) 12.0 4) 12.3 5) cannot calculate answer unless a volume is
given
KOH is a strong base; [OH ] = 0.02 M.
pH = 14.0 – pOH = 14.0 – {-log [OH]} = 14.0 – {-log 0.02}
pH = 14.0 – 1.7 = 12.3
14.7 Polyprotic Acids
� They always dissociate in a stepwise mannerPhosphoric acid is triprotic acid that dissociate as follows:
H3PO4(s) + H2O(l) H3O+(aq) + H2PO4
–(aq) Ka1= 7.5×10
−3
H2PO4–(aq)+ H2O(l) H3O
+(aq) + HPO4
2–(aq) Ka2= 6.2×10
−8
HPO42–(aq)+ H2O(l) H3O
+(aq) + PO4
3–(aq) Ka3= 2.14×10
−13
Only the first dissociation constant step is important in determining the pH.
Exercise 14.15 Calculate the pH of 5.0 M H3PO4 and the equilibrium concentration
of H3PO4, H2PO4-, HPO4
2-, and PO43-
Solution using ICE:
[H+] = 0.19 M = [H2PO4-] and [H3PO4] = 5.0 - 0.19 = 4.8 M ..
� Sulfuric acid is strong acid in its first
dissociation and a weak acid in its second
dissociation, thus:[H+] = Acid concentration = [HSO4-] and use ICE for [SO42-]
Review QUESTION
Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, has two hydrogen atoms that
ionize from the acid. Ka1 = 7.9 × 10–5; Ka2 = 1.6 × 10
–12. What would be
the pH, and C6H6O62– concentration of a 0.10 M solution of H2C6H6O6?
1. 2.56; [C6H6O62–] = 0.050 M
2. 2.56; [C6H6O62–] = 1.6 × 10–12 M
3. 1.00; [C6H6O62–] = 1.6 × 10–12 M
4. 5.10; [C6H6O62–] = 0.050 M
Choice 2: In a diprotic acid with two small, widely separated Ka values
• The pH of a solution can be obtained from the use of Ka1 and molarity.
• The concentration of the dianion can be closely approximated by
assuming very little dissociation of the second acidic hydrogen, so that
Ka2 is very close to the molarity.

14.8 Acid-base salts
Review QUESTION
The following salts were all placed in separate solutions at the same
temperature so that their concentrations were all equal. Arrange them
in order from lowest pH to highest pH.
NaCl; NH4NO3; Ca(C2H3O2)2; AlCl3
Kb for NH3 = 1.8 × 10–5;
Ka for HC2H3O2 = 1.8 × 10–5;
Ka for Al (H2O)3+ = 1.4 × 10–5
1. NaCl; NH4NO3; Ca(C2H3O2)2; AlCl32. AlCl3; NaCl; NH4NO3; Ca(C2H3O2)23. AlCl3; NH4NO3; NaCl; Ca(C2H3O2)24. NH4NO3; AlCl3; NaCl; Ca(C2H3O2)2
Choice 3: The ranking is based on production of H+ from the salt ions
interacting with water.
The Ka of the aluminum’s reaction is larger than the Ka for NH4+. NaCl is
neutral and the acetate ion undergoes a reaction that produces OH–
103. Sodium azide (NaN3) is sometimes added to water to kill
bacteria. Calculate the concentration of all the species in
0.0100 M solution of (NaN3). Ka of HN3 = 1.9 x 10-5
NaN3 → Na+ + N3
−; Azide, N3
−, is a weak base since it is the conjugate base of a weak acid.
All conjugate bases of weak acids are weak bases (Kw < Kb < 1). Ignore Na+.

Review QUESTIONThe Ka value for monochloroacetic acid is 1.35 × 10
–3 at 25°C.
Neutralizing the acid with KOH would produce the salt
potassium chloroaceate. What would be the pH of a 0.110 M
solution of the salt at 25°C?
1. 7.956
2. 13.041
3. 6.044
4. 12.086
Choice 1: The salt, in water, will dissociate and provide the opportunity
for the cation and anion to interact with water. Since the anion is from a
weak acid (note the Ka) it can regain H+ from water thus producing OH–
ions. The Kb for this reaction is obtained through Kw/Ka. Then the [OH–]
can be obtained from the Kb and molarity. This is then converted to pH.

Review QUESTION
Some CO2 gas is bubbled into water. Which of the following
compounds would be suitable to now neutralize the CO2
infused solution?
1. K2O
2. NaCl
3. NH4Br
4. AlCl3
Choice 1: Nonmetal oxides, such as CO2, produce acid solutions in
water. So a compound with basic properties would be needed to
neutralize the solution. Of the choices, K2O (a metal oxide) is the only
one with basic properties.
